Chapter 157: The Blue Lightning Sect's Meeting.
Morris's lame leg made a soft scraping sound as he limped over to Yu Xiaogang and asked:
"What's your name?"
Perhaps it was because Morris's aura was too intimidating, Yu Xiaogang subconsciously shrank his neck, rubbed his hands which were red from the cold, exhaled a puff of white breath, and said, "Yu... Yu Xiaogang."
"Yu Xiaogang!"
Chu Huaizhou suddenly stood up from his seat, his heavy leather boots making a loud "thump" on the floor, and quickly arrived in front of Yu Xiaogang.
Several squad leaders also stood up and rushed to Yu Xiaogang, looking the thin man up and down with disbelief in their eyes.
Yu Xiaogang and Yu Xiaolie both have dragon spirits, so they must be related!
The crowd immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Quick! Release your martial spirit and let us see!"
Yu Xiaogang hesitated for a moment, but under the eager gaze of everyone, he slowly raised his right hand.
With a flash of pale purple light, the round and chubby Luo Sanpao appeared at his feet, wagging his short tail and making a "quack" sound.
A familiar figure appeared before everyone's eyes. Although the color was slightly different, it didn't matter. This was the Dragon Cub Martial Soul that everyone recognized.
"It really is a dragon cub!"
Chu Huaizhou slammed his fist into his palm in excitement, making a crisp sound.
He crouched down, wanting to pat Luo Sanpao's head, but the little guy warily dodged away.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the office became even more enthusiastic, and the faces of several squad leaders were filled with excitement.
Chu Huaizhou, in particular, had a slightly bewildered look in his eyes, as if he had returned to the days many years ago when he fought bloody battles with Yu Xiaolie, risking his life and creating miracles time and again.
Morris couldn't help but laugh too.
Although the little dragon in front of him looked a bit simple, it didn't diminish Maurice's admiration for it at all.
Just like Yu Xiaolie's dragon cub, it usually looks cute and cuddly, but once it starts fighting, its fierce appearance is unforgettable for all the veteran soul masters of the Red Guard Hunting Group.
Back then, Yu Xiaolie, with his dragon cub, was virtually invincible in this far north.
Moreover, his strong fighting spirit and indomitable will to fight have greatly influenced the entire team.
In addition, his forward-thinking management style, combined with Maurice's connections and resources, helped to develop and expand the Red Guard Hunting Group.
Unfortunately, this small, remote place in the far north could not keep him.
Therefore, when everyone saw Yu Xiaogang and that familiar Martial Soul Dragon Child, they were overjoyed!
Only Yu Xiaogang stared blankly at all of this, not understanding why his useless martial spirit would cause such a big reaction.
Moreover, he didn't understand why they all called Luo Sanpao "Dragon Cub".
However, it seems that Luo Sanpao is quite popular.
Perhaps, by relying on Luo Sanpao, one can make a living in this far north.
"Silent!"
At that moment, Morris slammed his hand on the table, making the map scroll on it jump.
After the commotion subsided, he took a deep breath, trying to suppress his excitement, and asked Yu Xiaogang:
"Who is Yu Xiaolie to you?"
The air in the office seemed to freeze.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on Yu Xiaogang, as this was the question that intrigued them the most.
Yu Xiaogang felt a little puzzled. Why was he asking about Yu Xiaolie?
But he still answered truthfully:
"I am his brother."
This statement was like a red-hot iron block thrown into a snowdrift, instantly stirring up a frenzy.
The office, which had finally quieted down, erupted into chaos again, with the team leaders of more than a dozen squads yelling.
If the younger brother is this strong, the older brother must be even more extraordinary!
Yu Xiaogang's doubts deepened. Why did they become so excited when they mentioned his younger brother, who had been disliked since childhood?
Luo Sanpao seemed to sense the change in his master's mood, and raised his head to bark twice.
"That's great! Back when your brother and I teamed up for missions, we were invincible! As long as the dragon cub was there, even the fiercest soul beasts were no match for us!"
Chu Huaizhou grabbed Yu Xiaogang's shoulder with such force that it made Yu Xiaogang grit his teeth.
The other captains also gathered around, all talking at once about Yu Xiaolie's heroic deeds in the far north.
Yu Xiaogang was stunned. The younger brother in these stories was completely different from the self-righteous Yu Xiaolie in his memory...
So, mastering martial arts to the extreme and combining it with over 20 levels of soul power is also a practical way of fighting?
Yu Xiaogang seemed to be deep in thought, not expecting that his younger brother was doing quite well at the grassroots level.
Moreover, he surprisingly found a unique path to cultivation.
Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang didn't approve of this approach.
In particular, he had access to the Spirit Hall's library and glimpsed the highest level of theoretical knowledge in the Soul Master world.
How could they possibly be interested in martial arts that ordinary people can practice?
Morris stopped the crowd, then turned to Yu Xiaogang and asked sincerely:
"Would you like to join our Red Guard Hunting Group?"
Yu Xiaogang was stunned.
Since he was expelled from Wuhun City, he had not felt needed for a long time.
It was the first time he had ever been treated with such sincerity and honesty.
"I do!"
Yu Xiaogang accepted Morris's invitation almost without hesitation.
The office erupted in excitement once again as several team leaders jostled to get in front of Yu Xiaogang, vying to have him join their squads.
"Our Ice Wolf Squad desperately needs a powerful offensive Beast Soul Master!"
"Bullshit! Our Snow Leopard Squad's setup is the perfect one for Dragon Cub to shine!"
"..."
"Stop arguing!"
Chu Huaizhou was immediately displeased and let out a roar.
He looked around at the crowd and said, word by word:
"Among everyone here, who knows better than me how to cooperate with the dragon cub? I think there's absolutely no dispute about how to allocate Yu Xiaogang!"
This sentence brought the argument to an abrupt halt.
The group looked at each other and had to admit that Chu Huaizhou was indeed the most qualified person to take Yu Xiaogang away.
The difficult and dangerous missions he and Yu Xiaolie completed together back then earned the Red Guard Hunting Group a good reputation.
Morris slammed his hand on the table and made the final decision: "It's settled then, Yu Xiaogang will join Chu Huaizhou's team."
Then, he turned to Yu Xiaogang, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, and said:
"I look forward to you creating your own legend here."
...
Meanwhile, a completely different scene unfolded inside the council hall of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Soul-guided lamps engraved with lightning patterns hung from the tall dome, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.
Elders Yu Zhentian and Yu Zhenhai sat on either side of the main seat, their long, snow-white beards gleaming silver in the lamplight.
Beside the heavy mahogany conference table, a dozen elders sat upright, their expressions ranging from serious to doubtful.
These two former leaders have been retired for more than six years. Why are they participating in the sect meeting again today?
Yu Yuanzhen sat in the main seat, while Yu Xiaolie stood beside him.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yu Yuanzhen began to preside:
"I have gathered you all here today to announce an important decision."
From this day forward, Yu Xiaolie will assist me in handling sect affairs. After careful consideration, I have decided that he will first assist in the escort and trade of the sect's minerals and herbs.
For a moment, the elders looked at each other and whispered among themselves.
An elder with gray hair and beard suddenly stood up, his heavy elder robe sleeves brushing against the table, stirring up a gentle breeze.
"Please be cautious, Sect Master! Minerals and herbs have always been the economic lifeline of our sect. Although the young master is exceptionally talented, he is still too young and lacks experience!"
He was the Third Elder, who had been in charge of transporting minerals and herbs for many years. Upon hearing Yu Yuanzhen's arrangement, he immediately stepped forward.
Without even thinking, I voiced my opposition!
